Answer:

p = 7/2

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

  1. Brackets
  2. Parenthesis
  3. Exponents
  4. Multiplication
  5. Division
  6. Addition
  7. Subtraction
  • Left to Right

Equality Properties

  • Multiplication Property of Equality
  • Division Property of Equality
  • Addition Property of Equality
  • Subtract Property of Equality

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

-4p + 9 = -5

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>p</u></em>

  1. Subtract 9 on both sides:                     -4p = -14
  2. Divide -4 on both sides:                       p = 7/2

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in p into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>p</em>:                    -4(7/2) + 9 = -5
  2. Multiply:                               -14 + 9 = -5
  3. Add:                                     -5 = -5

Here we see that -5 does indeed equal -5.

∴ p = 7/2 is the solution to the equation.

Answer:

- 4p + 9 =  - 5 \\  - 4p =  - 14 \\ p =  \frac{ - 14}{ - 4}  \\ p =  \frac{7}{2}  \\ \boxed{ p = 3.5}

<h3>3.5 is the right answer.</h3>

Solving Rational equations. LCD method. Show work. Image attached.
Ugo [173]

Answer:

k=\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given rational equation is

\frac{5k}{k+2}+\frac{2}{k}=5

The Least Common Denominator is

k(k+2)

Multiply each term by the LCD.

k(k+2)\times \frac{5k}{k+2}+k(k+2)\times \frac{2}{k}=5k(k+2)

Simplify;

k\times \frac{5k}{1}+(k+2)\times \frac{2}{1}=5k(k+2)

\Rightarrow k(5k)+2(k+2)=5k(k+2)

Expand;

\Rightarrow 5k^2+2k+4=5k^2+10k

Group similar terms;

\Rightarrow 5k^2-5k^2+2k-10k=-4

\Rightarrow -8k=-4

Divide by -8.

k=\frac{1}{2}

Write an equation with a slope of -1/2 in each form.<br> point-slope form<br> slope-intercept form.
Evgen [1.6K]

For the case of a line through

(

2

,

7

)

and

(

1

,

−

4

)

we have

slope

m

=

Δ

y

Δ

x

=

−

4

−

7

1

−

2

=

−

11

−

1

=

11

Using the point

(

2

,

7

)

we can write the equation of the line in point slope form as:

y

−

7

=

m

(

x

−

2

)

where the slope

m

=

11

.

That is:

y

−

7

=

11

(

x

−

2

)

To get point intercept form, first expand the right hand side so...

y

−

7

=

11

x

−

(

11

⋅

2

)

=

11

x

−

22

Then add

7

to both sides to get:

y

=

11

x

−

15

=

11

x

+

(

−

15

)

This is point intercept (

y

=

m

x

+

c

) form with slope

m

=

11

and intercept

c

=

−

15

.
